Praise For…

“Nothing short of swell. [Christie] is probably the best suspicion scatterer and diverter in the business.” -New York Herald Tribune

“Need it be said—the little grey cells solve once more the seemingly insoluble. Mrs Christie makes an improbable tale very real, and keeps her readers enthralled and guessing to the end.” -Times Literary Supplement (London)

“It’s tempting to say that Agatha Christie is a genius and let it go at that, but the world’s had plenty of geniuses. Agatha Christie is something special.” -Lawrence Block, New York Times bestselling author
